Aha another internet cafe, so whats up since the last entry well it seems like ages again so much happens when your riding all day, tuesday night I camped at Derrymere on the southern point of the Kerry coast road. That is one of a kind that road, a must for anyone traveling in this part of the world the views are staggering not just in their beauty but in their veriety too, one moment your riding along tiny roads around the shear sides of the mountains the next you down along side of white sandy (and empty) beaches and always the Atlantic as far as the eye can see. God its a tough life.
The camp site was cool camped at the edge of a cliff, very secluded. Next day was up and on the road again through the national park and up to Molls Gap, now thats a view I won't forget in a hurry a beautiful day weather was sunny and you could see for miles nothing but moutains, valleys, lakes that sort of thing. Frankly I'm running out of adjectives for this blog, words seem a little inadaquate to describe riding around Kerry this place is truely splendid. Anyway lunch at Molls gap the on to the gap of Dunloe
what a ride shear moyuntains on both sides and a river valley road to ride down twisting and turning all the way back down to Kilarnee, top ride. From there I pushed on to Dingle stopping for tea at Inch Strand another streatch of white, empty beach, just a few surfers riding waves , very well I thought. Then on to Dingle a small fishing port on the Peninsular of the same name. Camped there camp site was a bit rubbish small field but a youth hostel attatched so the place was full of german and Dutch Hikers (yawn yawn).
Got up this morning packed up fast and left as fast as my little bike would carry me. Rode up to Conners pass another amazing view; Dingle bay one side and Tralee bay on the other another fanastic road up and down . A bike riders dream twists, hairpins, and long straight stretches to open up on, cool. Anyway into Tralee for breakfast at Brogues Inn in Tralee town, I think they served me up three breakfasts on the one plate massive portions just the thing after a pre breakfast exillarating ride. Then north to Banna Strand ( told the waiting germans that the cheque for the guns was in the post deffo, Irish type joke.) the weather is fab blue skies and sunshine beach almost empty and streatches for miles noyhing but white sand, blue sea and the mountains in the distance with white clouds just touching the tops. At this point I'm supposed to carry on north but I didn't have the heart to leave Kerry so after a quick conversattion with my bro on the phone ( just making him jealous ) I turned around and headed back for Tralee, booked into a B&B and am spending the night here. Well thats us up to date I write again in a day or so cya.
